How much does it cost to put solar panels on your house?
Equipment (panels, inverter, racking) is about 60% of that. Labor and permitting cover the rest. In Conroe, installers charge $2.63/watt on average.
How does solar protect against rate increases?
Texas electricity rates have jumped 16% over the past five years. Entergy territory has seen rates climb from around 10 cents to over 16 cents per kWh. Solar locks in your production at $0/kWh for 25+ years - that's real rate increase protection.
What factors affect solar panel pricing?
System size is the biggest factor. More panels = higher cost, but also more savings. Your roof's age and condition can add costs if repairs are needed first.
Does Texas have a solar tax credit?
The 30% federal tax credit is the big one. On a $33,475 system, that's $10,042 back. Texas also exempts solar from property taxes.
